ASHLAND, WI (KBJR) Over the past nine months, as we have been cooped up at home, many have taken the step to add a furry member to their family!
Those quarantine pets have made adoptions soar for one Northwest Wisconsin humane society.
Whether it is working from home, distance learning, or just spending more time inside, many of us were looking for a new friend in 2020.
Kari Olinger and her team at Chequamegon Humane Association (CHA) in Ashland placed 700 animals in homes last year, but in 2020 they are slated to hit 1,000 adoptions.
